Hi there I hope you can help me.

when i use my remote lock opener, the passenger door lock pops up but when you try to open the door it drops down a little and keeps the door locked.for the life of me i cannot see how to adjust it so the door can be open.
hope you can help and thanking you in advance.

What u have is the symptom of a D1s faulty lock spring with the door pin rising and dropping back down slightly relocking the door.
Holding the pin up while unlocking should enable you to open the door.

You have been given a link to a "how to" above in post #4.
Changing the PITA little springs.

Happy Easter.

Cheers

I changed this 2 or 3 times on my Disco 1. As with all jobs, it became easier with practice. Follow the instructions an just take your time. Only other advice is to watch the small rods near the lock and if possible have a spare clip to keep the rods in situ. I damaged one of mine and this prevented me completing the job.

So you checked the very small PITA springs as shown in the how to above?
And you say they are OK,

Is this a new problem or has it been there a long time? did it start after you had been in and played with the door in any way?

Have you tried adjusting the rods in the mechanism?

Cheers
